WASHINGTON, DC: A new 20-mile transit line, called "The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity," aka "Trump Bridge," will be built in territory close to Russia's border.

A new peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan gives the United States leasing rights to develop a corridor between the two countries.

'Trump Bridge' to be built near Russian territory

President Donald Trump announced that the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace deal on Friday, August 8, at the White House, potentially ending decades of conflict.

Officials told reporters that the agreement gives the US leasing rights to develop the 20-mile transit line and name it "The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity."

The transit corridor would include a rail line, oil and gas lines, and fiber optic lines, which would allow for the movement of goods and people. The route also provides a more direct link to Turkey and onward to Europe.

Khoda Afarin borders territory which was controlled by ethnic Armenian authorities in Azerbaijan adjacent to Nagorno-Karabakh and was returned to Azerbaijani control as part of an agreement that ended the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War.

Interestingly, the deal would not require the US to pay for the construction of the transit line, and private corporations would build it.

Meanwhile, the corridor would link Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan region, which is separated from the rest of the country by a 20-mile patch of Armenian territory.

Transit corridor to create 'connectivity opportunities' for many countries

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said on Friday that the transit corridor will "create connectivity opportunities for so many countries."

He added, "We are starting the path toward strategic partnership." 

Meanwhile, Trump mentioned that he would like to visit the route at some point, and said, "We’re going to have to get over there."

Trump also said that naming the route after him was "a great honor for me" but "I didn’t ask for this."

A senior administration official told reporters that it was the Armenians who suggested the name.

White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said on Friday, "The roadmap they are agreeing to will build a cooperative future that benefits both countries, their region of the South Caucasus and beyond."

She also mentioned that the new transit corridor will "allow unimpeded connectivity between the two countries while respecting Armenia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and its people."

Internet reacts to new 20-mile 'Trump Bridge'

Many internet users, especially supporters of Donald Trump, rejoiced to know that a new 20-mile transit line, called "The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity," will be built in territory close to Russia's border.

A user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Nobody else in the world could pull this off. Trump is the only one," while another added, "Yep. No one respected America when Biden was president. It is completely different with Trump."



 



 

A person stated, "Donald Trump is the president of peace promises made, promises kept."

"The Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal is a strategic masterstroke—ending decades of conflict while securing U.S. access to the Zangezur corridor. Naming it the 'Trump Route' isn’t just optics—it’s geopolitical chess. This corridor cuts off Russia and Iran’s regional dominance, redirecting trade and energy flows to American advantage," a tweet explained. 



 



 

An individual wrote, "How easy that can be! They can build from there. These ideas are endless," while one more tweeted, "The infrastructure must at least be halfway there so why not."
